Investment Banking in Chicago

I was wondering what the banking scene looks like now in Chicago (the most recent posts are a few years ago)?

For BB's in Chicago - what groups/companies are strong and do a lot of deal execution?
For EB's in Chicago - are these offices just for pitching? do they recruit analysts heavily? do they cut recruiting heavily during rough times like these?

For MM - what are the best shops? - I have heard that William Blair, Baird, and HL are strong; are there any others?

How have current times (COVID-19) affected recruiting in Chicago for incoming analysts?
